Hi ladies,

Month 10 of TTC #2. I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle.

I have a one year old daughter who took almost a year and a half to conceive. I previously had a chemical pregnancy not long before she was conceived.

Really hoping this cycle will bring good news ❤️

Please feel free to join if your ovulation is around 26th/27th April and/or AF due around 7th/8th/9th May.

Wishing luck to us all xx

@missmoosh awh thank you 🥰 jeez i really hope thats the case guess all i can do is monitor this n wait xx

Mummyme87 · 11/05/2023 20:12

Ah @Freya8 tjats stressful. Hope it doesn’t get worse and tests get darker still. If it’s brown that’s not uncommon on day of AF. Everything crossed fornyou

Freya8 · 11/05/2023 20:17

@Mummyme87 awh thank you. Im gutted like as never had ib with my first dc. Allowed myself to be full of joy this morn as the line was progressing and then seen that shite heart sank. Really do think ive implanted too late as get my period on 13dpo which is today n that lines too faint for the time. Wat were them vits u got again for this month and ur bfp xxx

Mummyme87 · 11/05/2023 20:21

@Freya8 with my chemical last cycle I think I implanted late. Got a BFP 12dpo and AF comes 13dpo, it came 16dpo in the end but yeah. Stay positive though, you just never know. I took red Maca root from CD1-11 1000mg, also increased vit b to high dose, added magnesium 375mg, omega 3 1000mg and selenium 200mg also. Got OH to cut down to two coffee pods a day instead of 4-6 and he started selenium 200mg and omega 3 1000mg. I think the caffeine cut down for OH and the Maca root were the biggest things for me

Freya8 · 11/05/2023 20:32

@Mummyme87 def gonna look into it! Literally on bare min folic acid and vit d at minute n jeez at the age of 37 time aint exactly on my side!! Thanks for listin these for me and hope your keepin well

@Mummyme87 Where did you get the maca root? And the rest? Might give some of it a go for next cycle x

Mummyme87 · 11/05/2023 21:52

@Daniki Maca root I got from Amazon, was in like a green bag. Selenium also from Amazon. The rest all boots

@Mummyme87 thank u for this!! Def gonna get them you will hear me bloody rattlin down the road lmao

missmoosh · 12/05/2023 10:15

@Daniki and @Freya8 I am so sorry both you. I hope this next cycle brings us all more luck!

I wish I could try all these vitamins haha, I already take a lot of meds, and so have to get everything signed off by a doctor so I don't accidentally mess with the ones keeping me alive and kicking! Nightmare!

StressyErica · 12/05/2023 11:12

So sorry @Daniki and @Freya8 . ❤️

AF has arrived here too! I'm ok because I knew it was coming, and actually I'm in awe of how accurately FF knows when I'm due when I have no idea. 😂 I'm so irregular that I never know what's going on with my cycle. This is why opks are probably good for me!

So let's get this AF out of the way and get to work! I'm going to go for some general vitamins too I think. I've been taking folic acid because it's recommended, but I may go for a generic TTC vitamin just in case it helps with my cycle etc. Good luck everyone!

Secondtimettc · 12/05/2023 18:07

Uh. My PMS has definitely started. Stomach ache and head ache and cramps so I think AF on the way. The physical discomfort really doesn't help with the disappointment does it! Mine always seem much worse whilst ttc.

So sorry @Freya8. Sending my love to you.

I hope you’re all doing okay ladies.

On the 4th day of my period now. Absolutely dreading the fertile window coming up if I’m honest. Can’t be arsed with all that sex and anticipation and then waiting - all over again 🥱

It really does get repetitive doesn’t it? 😂

I always thought baby making was supposed to be a fun process but this is honestly a little bit depressing and a whole lot draining!!

Freya8 · 13/05/2023 06:35

@TTCing thanks so much 🥰

Oh god me either we done smep im quivering at the thought here of this again .... bound to be a point were my vag jus refuses entry 🤣🤣 xxx

missmoosh · 13/05/2023 10:06

@Ttcmumma I'm with you on those feelings. I'm not gonna track this month, I need a break from it all. I feel so down and drained, I can see its starting to get to the hubby too which makes me even sadder.
Figure if we just go at it like rabbits for the cycle, it won't matter if I track or not...

Daniki · 13/05/2023 10:24

@Ttcmumma @missmoosh yea I'm not going to track either, it's too much pressure! Will just try and d2d every second night as should catch it that way 🫣

Freya8 · 13/05/2023 12:16

Does anyone know if chemicals effect ovulation or mess up ur cycle? Xx

missmoosh · 13/05/2023 12:47

@Freya8 I haven't had one but I have seen people mention it has made their next cycle slightly different

Freya8 · 13/05/2023 13:04

@missmoosh thats what im worried about aghhh 🙈 yup at the freak out stage here were thinkin wayyy ahead of myself!!!

Daniki · 13/05/2023 15:30

@Freya8 I think it can affect but equally it has no bearing at all on peoples! I'm going to try and not track this time but then on the other hand I'm wondering should I track incase I don't 😂

Mummyme87 · 13/05/2023 17:45

@Freya8 I had a chemical previous cycle, only difference was I ovulated a day early. But I know others who have had delayed ovulation
